This post is sort of a reboot for our Node.js, Arduino & Raspberry Pi series (you can read previous articles here and here).

As previously told, we were trying to control an Arduino board from a Raspberry Pi, and then turn that Raspberry Pi into an AP so that it could host a Node.js app and we could connect to it in order to control the Arduino.
For this, we were using an Arduino Leonardo board.

In our last post we talked about talking to Arduino with Javascript. We used the framework Duino as a workaround when your Arduino board, as mine, is not the best suited for running Jhonny-Five (or if you can’t manage to make it work, as it was my case).

Our next step: Repeat our current achievements from a Raspberry Pi connected to our Arduino board.

I have recently completed a course about environmental monitorization with Arduino, and once completed, I decided
that I wanted to go a little further in the use of Arduino with Javascript.

Some time ago, when I didn’t have any Arduino board of my own, I already tinkered a little bit using the board of a friend, with the help of a library called Jhonny-Five by @rwaldron, which has become sort of the standard for using Arduino with Javascript (You can read more about javascript-controlled robots here).

Every time I see our sysadmin doing his… well, sysadmin stuff, I think to myself: “When are you going to boost your sysadmin skills??”. So I have decided to forget all I know about system administration (done! that was easy) and give this book a go.

I’ll keep you posted as I learn… this is going to take me some time, I am afraid!
